USA is looking to win in DF. With no wins in Estadio Azteca, and Mexico coming of that 5 goal win, which team will come out on top tomorrow?

Last game the US wasn't playing with their top players. I suspect a much better game and a win from USA!!

agreed ths US didnt have a single actual starting player out there last game. and they didnt get the best officiating the whole tournament either. if bradly has his starting team out there then im taking US by atleast two goals.

I think if the US goes out, and scores quickly, it will take the air out of their sails, and the crowd out of the game.
At that point, only home field calls will help the tricolor.

MEXICO 2-1 USA...Mexico outplayed them for most of the game with the US giving a good effort, but they just seemed out of air at the end.

I think if they are to make a it good match, they will need to acclimate for at least a week. I was there last month, and the smog was bad, more than usual. Also, the altitude does take some getting used to for a couple of days.

They were showering Landon Donvan with all kinds of trash on a corner kick. Security had to stand there with their sheilds up to protect him.

I forgot against whom, but I saw the same thing happening in the cup action in the states last month, someone in the US stands throwing beer on the foreign team. I was ashamed then. Wish I could remember the details...
I don't like places built within reach of the fans, especially if there is barely room for a good corner kick or throw-in.
Soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans, and
Rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentleman, or something like that...

Now that's not showing much grattitude to a player from the country that gives their kinfolks free healthcare benefits.
